ex-Linden CTO Corey Ondrejka Gets a New Gig ...

From Corey's blog it seems he is recharging his batteries before starting a new job. Will be very interesting to see where this virtual world guru goes next after building Second Life; http://ondrejka.blogspot.com/

been off the grid a bit

Apologies for recent lack of posting. I owe a serious recap of my semester at APOC, but that isn't going to happen right now. I've been enjoying two weeks mostly off the grid, hanging out at home, teaching my daughter to swim, and learning that my wife consistently kicks my ass at Boom Blox. It's been most excellent and not at all conducive to blogging. It has also been the perfect recharge before starting my next gig. Details to come.
